The only olive oil we ever want to use. Tastes as good as it looks. Wonder Valley Olive Oil, $34 at The Conservatory.
Husband and wife team Alison and Jay Carroll created their own version of “The Good Life” in the California high desert; prioritizing health, creative growth and finding a balance of studio work and manual labor, stripping back the excess but finding decadence in home cooked meals and daily rituals. They saw olive oil as the perfect cornerstone; it is elemental, timeless, and a universal common denominator. Great olive oil has the power to elevate everyday life and they believe it is the foundation of a healthy lifestyle.Wonder Valley Olive Oil elevates any meal through its bright, herbaceous, peppery flavor and delivers a delicious dose of polyphenols, the powerful antioxidant associated with longevity of life. The 2020 harvest oil is a blend of Leccino, Frantoio, Pendolino, Coratino and Arbequina olives harvested from groves in Lake County, CA and certified Extra Virgin grade by the California Olive Oil Council. The olives are hand-picked young, yielding a greener oil, longer shelf life, and higher concentration of polyphenols. The matte black UV coated bottle protects the integrity of the oil and extends the shelf life. – The Conservatory
